Panagia Icon Plaque

This is a decorative Orthodox Christian plaque, designed in the style of a stone tablet, displayed on a stand.

🔎 Description:

• Iconography:
  On the left side, the image depicts the Theotokos (Mother of God) holding the Christ Child, a classic Orthodox Christian icon known as the “Panagia” (All-Holy Mother).

  • The Virgin Mary is shown in the traditional Byzantine style with a solemn yet tender expression, holding Jesus, who is blessing with His right hand and holding a scroll in His left (symbolizing divine wisdom and teaching).

  • Above the figures is a golden cross, reinforcing the sacred nature of the piece.

• Text:
  The right side contains the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (Πιστεύω, “I Believe”) written in Greek.

  • This Creed is the central profession of faith in the Orthodox Church, recited during every Divine Liturgy and many other services.

  • It summarizes the beliefs of Christianity: faith in the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), the Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the life of the world to come.

• Material & Style:

  • The plaque has stone-like edges giving it an ancient, timeless feel.

  • It is mounted on two black stands, suitable for placing on a table, shelf, or home altar.

🙏 Use & Significance:

• Such plaques are often placed in Orthodox homes, churches, or offices as a devotional and decorative reminder of faith.

• The combination of the Creed with an icon of the Theotokos makes it both a teaching tool (summarizing Orthodox belief) and an object of prayerful reflection.

• It can also serve as a spiritual gift for baptisms, weddings, or house blessings.
